Family is the most important thing in the world and I thank God for this blessing. My family has always supported me, regardless of the circumstances, including (and especially) the difficult ones. My parents and my family have done a lot for me. They taught me how to tell the difference between the right and wrong path and how I must always take the right one.

We had a lot of criticism when we first set up the newspaper, but my parents encouraged me and gave me much positive support. They shared their own experiences with me so that I could use them in my own life. My parents are my best friends. If I am happy in what I do, I owe it exclusively to their love and encouragement. Without their support, I could not have become a member of the newspaper team. I was so afraid of failure on that particular road, but they taught me that every setback should be taken as a strong lesson on how to improve.

Despite the difficult conditions in the camp, my parents stood by me and created a conducive atmosphere, allowing me to meet the responsibilities that I had undertaken in the best possible way. I now want to thank them in this way for all the sacrifices they have made for me, for their love and guidance.

Essentially, parents put their own happiness second in order to help us achieve our goals. As Desmond Tutu, a pioneer of peace and fighter for human rights in South Africa said: “You don’t choose your families, but they are God’s gift to you”. And so I thank God for this priceless gift and hope that I have been able to show my gratitude up till now, that I have managed to live up to their expectations even a little, and that I have made them proud.
